At noon, following regular Sunday services at West Middle School, members of the Asylum Avenue Baptist Church briefly discussed the plan to rebuild the church at its present location.

More details

Frank B. Haggard and Lewis M. Robotham discussed the formal report that the building committee had prepared.
Both Haggard and Robotham “urged all members of the church to attend” a special meeting, scheduled for April 13, at which the building committee’s report would be presented.
No formal action was taken at this meeting.

The past recalled

On April 6, 1931, the building committee voted to move forward with reconstructing the church.

The future foretold

A special meeting to consider the plans to rebuild the church was scheduled for tomorrow 7:45 pm at Asylum Hill Congregational Church.

Neat little tidbit

The church’s bylaws prevented any formal actions from being taken except at a regularly called meeting of the church.

“So far as could be learned Sunday night, no opposition to rebuilding the church on its old site is expected to develop tonight, although minor changes may be made in the recommendations of the building committee.”

For the record

Frank Haggard was the pastor at Asylum Avenue Baptist Church.
Lewis Robotham was the vice chair of the church building committee.
